Henry Bowers my love😍

Ch.7

I must of fallen asleep because when I woke up the sun was almost down. I sat up slowly. I rubbed my eyes and head. Then I got up out of my bed and went downstairs. The groceries were put away and mom was passed out on the couch while my sister was taking a shower. I knew that since my mom was asleep, she wouldn't be awaking up any time soon. "I didn't mean to fall asleep." I told myself. I went back upstairs and decided to clean my room. Minutes later my sister came in. "Listen," she began, "I know you hate going to the store but that doesn't mean that you can just throw the groceries down on the floor and not put them away." "What?" I asked her. "When I came home about two hours ago I walked in and the groceries were all over the kitchen floor. So I went ahead and picked them up myself before mom got home." I was confused for a minute until I remembered what happened while I was walking home. "Oh yeah. Sorry sis." "It's fine. Just next time please put them away." She said. "I will." I assured her. "Anyways, I'm going to bed. Try not to stay up to late. I know it's summer but we really need to clean the house tomorrow." "Okay." I said. She walked out of my room and shut the door behind her. I laid down on my bed thinking about what happened today. "Was any of that real? I know seeing Eddie was real and helping him pay for his stuff, and then getting the things I needed. But going into that house? Was any of that real?" I was very confused so I decided to take a shower to get my mind off this crap. After my shower, I put on my pajamas and threw the towel in the dirty clothes. When I got back in my room I saw something on my dresser. "A note?" I asked myself. I picked it up and opened it. It read, What you saw today was real. And I will be coming back very soon. You will be mine. And...
You
Will
Soon
Float!
I froze. I couldn't believe what I just read. I was terrified. I was about to cry but then there was a knock on my window. I panicked inside. I sat the note down and walked slowly over to my window. As I began to pull the curtain back I was shaking all over. I pulled the curtain back farther almost in tears until I realized it was... Henry. "Thank God!" I yelled inside my head. I pulled the curtain all the way back and opened my window. "Henry!" I hugged him tightly. "Oh, well hey." He said wondering why I hugged him like I hadn't seen him in years. "I missed you so much!" "Awe. I missed you too princess." He said with a loving tone. I let go of him so he could come through the window. Once he was in, I shut the window and locked it while pulling the curtain shut. I grabbed his hands and pulled him onto my bed. I began kissing him passionately. We did this for what felt like hours, until he stopped. I looked up at him with a confused look. "What's wrong?" I asked him. He had a worried look on his face. He gently grabbed my chin and made me look to his right. "Princess,what is this?" He asked me. "What do you mean?" "Go look in the mirror." He said. I did just what he said. I turned my head and there was a faded red colored handprint on my cheek. "Oh my God." I knew exactly what this was from. "That stupid clown." I mumbled. "What?" Henry asked me. I turned to him. "Um....I said what the heck." I turned back to the mirror. "How did? What?" I asked myself trying to act like I didn't know what happened. I tried to cover it up with my makeup. Henry walked over to me. He put his arm around my shoulders. I looked up at him. "Princess, did someone smack you?" He tensed up. "Um... I don't know." I said trying to sound unsure. "Princess." "I don't know." "Shayla, tell me." His voice got more annoyed. "I told you I don't know." "Shayla I know your lying. You can tell me." "There's nothing to tell you. I don't know." I tried to explain to him but he wasn't buying it. "Tell me." His voice tensed up. "Henry I don't know." "Shayla...don't lie to me. It's obvious someone smacked you now who was it?" "I can't tell you." He picked up my chin and made me look at him. "Sweetheart, I know someone smacked you. You can tell me." "Henry I"- "Tell me!" "It was, it was...that...cl...clown." I said knowing he wouldn't believe me. He let go of my chin. "The clown? The clown smacked you?" He asked not believing what I said. "Yes." "And you expect me to believe that?" "Yes." I said trying to get him to believe. "Shayla, are you okay?" "What? Do you not believe me?" "I just think it's weird that your saying a clown did this too you." "Henry it did. When we were at your house you even said that you wouldn't let it hurt me. I thought you believed me." I said almost in tears. "I said that because if something is hurting you I will make sure it stops. But clowns aren't real." "Henry I... I have prove." I said remembering the note. "Okay then, let's see the prove." I walked over to my dresser and grabbed the note. I walked back over to my bed and sat down, giving Henry the note. He read it then looked up at me. "Now do you believe me?" "Are you sure this isn't a prank?" He asked me with one eyebrow raised. "It's not. This thing...this monster... this clown. It isn't human. Earlier today I was getting groceries for my sister and I saw Eddie at the store. We talked for a few minutes then he had to go. But before he left he turned to me and said you'll soon float. And that's exactly what Roman said in my dream the other night. Then on my way home I had to walk past that stupid house. I was trying to avoid it but then I heard a voice that sounded exactly like yours saying help me, Shayla I need you. So I ran into the house because I thought it was you and you know, I'll go anywhere for you so as I ran in there I shouted your name then I heard the voice whisper I'm in here. I walked into the room and I saw you standing there in a corner. I ran to you and hugged you tightly but then I realized it wasn't you. That clown had takin over your form or something and it led me to believe it was you. He said he's the only one I need. I ran through that house trying to find an exit but everywhere I went he would pop up. In the end I fell to the floor and backed up in a corner. He put his hand on mine and told me his name and that he was my lover. I yelled at him and told him to shut up, then he smacked me. Before he disappeared he said you'll soon float. Which is exactly what Eddie and Roman said. And then I found this note on my dresser after I ran home and cried myself to sleep." My tears were falling rapidly from my eyes. I don't think I've cried this much in just three days. Henry scooped me up and cuddled me as we laid on my bed. "Shh. Shayla it's gonna be okay. Please don't cry anymore. I'm here for you. I love you so much. You light up my life and put love in my heart. You are so sweet and beautiful and kind and that clown can kiss my a**. I won't let him terrorize you anymore." He said while cuddling me tightly. "I love you Henry." "I love you too Shayla." "Henry"- "shh it's okay. Get some sleep. I'll stay here with you all night." He said very lovingly. He grabbed the sheets and put them over us. I felt so safe in his arms. I never wanted this moment to end. I slowly fell into a deep sleep for the rest of the night.
